Wakashio (Awajishima)

The seafood is the reason I'd happily return. There was plenty of sashimi, grilled sea bream, and other seafood, and both the amount and quality left me very satisfied. The inn itself isn't especially high-end, and some of the interior feels old. Still, it was clean and tidy, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The meal was the real highlight.

The hot spring water felt wonderfully smooth, and all the staff were kind, which made the stay really pleasant. I came for the food and everything was fresh and tasty. The simmered sea bream was so filling that I saved some for breakfast the next morning. If you don't eat much, I'd recommend doing the same. The seasoning was gentle, so I enjoyed every dish. It was my first time staying here, and I'd definitely come back.

We got to finish the year with such a happy family gathering at the inn. The water was soft and smooth to soak in, and the seafood was incredibly fresh, almost too much to get through. The staff's warm hospitality and, above all, the wonderful food made the whole stay a real joy. Thank you for helping us end the year so well.

The private dining room made for a peaceful meal, which seems like a nice fit for families. They let us relax while the kettle rice cooked for about 20 minutes, even lighting the fire at the end. That fish rice was like Japanese paella, and the Awaji beef was delicious too. The Houraku-yaki was amazing, and I was thrilled by the luxurious sashimi. The building was clean, and the staff welcomed us warmly. The hot spring water had that smooth, mellow feel people talk about, and it was very comfortable. The food was incredible, and I'd love to visit again.
